i wonder if its a DNS problem (a problem within the Internet provider). somehow your connection doesn't allow you to "see" nintendo's address. I have an oversea network (i know, its a bad example, but hear me out), and i have the same problem from day 1 i purchased my wii. so the solution is i had to go to the PC, do the "ipconfig" thingy and write down all the IP address setup there. then i key this in manually in my wii connection setup, and tada it worked. now, when i bring my wii back to malaysia, i don't need to do all this manual configuration. i just let my wii detect my wifi automatically and thats it. up to today i don't know why my oversea network behaves this way, but since it works i don't investigate further

DNS is a funny thing, and it is IP dependent. for example at one time my celcom broadband cannot access LYN!!!, but my TMnet can. what i did is call celcom, and they did some resetting, then suddenly can!, so as a more permenant solution u call your internet provider and quote the domain name u have trouble with. but the problem is u really dono the domain name of nintendo. is more effective if u can tell them the domain name of the site u have trouble accessing.

i remember this one u told me. have u tried going to harmonix customer support to tell them that (either u call - skype now very cheap, or email). its a bug in their software. their internal workflow should be purchase -> confirm purcase -> tag as purchased. but instead its purchase -> tag as purchased -> confirm purchased.

u need 4.2 to access wiishop. but of course ada belakang mari. to access wii shop u need only certain system files. so what modders do is just update those files only lor. and yes 4.2 also wipes of all foriegn mods. but again main belakang. they will just mod it again after updating to 4.2, and the saga continues.......
